### 3.3.1 Benefits of the new addressing plan

There are two benefits to be had by deploying this plan:

- The current problem with depletion of the available class B address space can be ameliorated by assigning more- appropriately sized blocks of class C's to mid-sized organizations (in the 200-4000 host range).

- When the improved inter-domain routing protocol is deployed, an immediate decrease in the number routing table entries should occur, followed by a significant reduction in the rate growth of routing table size (for default-free routers).
